Last year, over 850,000 people in America were arrested for marijuana-related crimes. Despite public opinion, the medical community, and human rights experts all moving in favor of relaxing marijuana prohibition laws, little has changed in terms of policy.

There have been many great books and articles detailing the history of the drug war. Part of America’s fixation with keeping the leafy green plant illegal is rooted in cultural and political clashes from the past.

However, we at Republic Report think it’s worth showing that there are entrenched interest groups that are spending large sums of money to keep our broken drug laws on the books:

How about leaving them alone? Don't like to be around smoke? Then walk away from smoke.

Do you remember the days when smoking was allowed indoors?

That would be fine with me, if it is being done at home and nobody else is being affected. That includes neighbours, children, the next tenant (if it's a flat), animals (in particular horses) etc. And nobody should have to pick up the dead cancer bags.
